Man, could they come up with a shittier UI?

Annoyed that D:OS is only at 20%. Tempted to buy it for full price on GoG just out of spite.

The storefront is awful. Looks like default Windows 8. D:OS will almost certainly go cheaper on a daily.

It will be most likely featured on the main page, with a deeper discount.

Btw, D:OS is not falling in the chart even with only 20% discount. :cool:

I'm sure the game is no longer a shitty mobile cow-clicker by now

I'm thinking of getting Mass Effect. I mean, MrBTongue liked it and it's only 2 euro.

If you like cover shooting in corridors interspersed with poorly written dialogue dump scenes then it might be for you.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
Defy Gravity is the game everyone should buy. You actually make some money after you sell the Steam Trading Cards.

It's only 0,09€

So like every other cover shooter?

Bullshit anyway...ME1 is a cutpasta KOTOR for the newer generation, for better or worse. It at least still tried to be a ARPG lite with a few hubs on the way to collecting the starmap pieces showdown with the Big Bad along with the skillchecks, exploration and rudimentary puzzles and sidequests.

ME2 and 3 were pretty much mission based corridor shooters with zero exploration and pure linear narrative. The biggest tragedy was that instead of adding to the RPG experience and fixing the numerous flaws of ME1, Bioware decided to dump everything that made the game an RPG and made it into nothing more than a clunky shooter with a few minor upgrades for your characters being the depth of the 'RPG experience', something that Battlefield did better anyway.

Opening ME1 writing is also far worse than DA:O, beyond like tone and Whedonjokes to just bare competency. The tutorial is beyond amateur hour - the insane assistant guy for example is so, so bad. I hope this was slapped together when they realized they needed a tutorial and the rest of the game picks up. Stopped playing there because of graphics bugs I need to hand-fix.

The 'exploration' in ME1 was utter shit. Give me a break.

"Don't Starve" with the DLC worth it? I'll take a look.
Forget about Don't Starve, it sucks.
Better get The Long Dark. One of the Tacticual Cancer staff recommend it. Don't care if you like TC group or not, The Long Dark is good game. One of the survivar themed game that doesn't suck.

There's, like, no universe in the multiverse where Don't Starve sucks for you if you like survival/resource management games. Not one. If you played it on release and dumped it after two hours then I can understand but now it's a completely different game and it fucking rocks.

But I grabbed The Long Dark too, just to support the devs. So far it's a typical EA, basic and derpy, but it's got potential. Let's hope they'll finish it some day.
